Recording IMS control region activity

You should design a form on which the master terminal operator (MTO) can document executions of the control region. Details to be recorded on the form include: the time when the system is started or shut down, the type of restart, and the reason for shutdown. You should make provisions on the form for recording error situations, such as DASD I/O errors, and actions taken to recover from such errors.

The operator can file the output of the DBRC LIST.LOG command (or DSPAPI FUNC=QUERY API request) with this form to provide a record of log archive activity.
